김달진 시의 현실인식-근대성 비판을 중심으로

Abstract

So far, the research on Kim Dal-jin has been mainly discussed in limited extent without considering reality recognition. As we can see from his biographical track record, the reality recognition of Kim Dal-jin's works is found especially in his early works. Kim Dal-jin's perception of reality is closely related to the situation of the times, such as the fall of traditional society and the transition to modernity. As modern times entered, nature was separated from daily life and existed in a stuffed state. Kim Dal-jin poeticized this reality in the works of "A Deer in an Old Mural," "A Stuffed Young Pigeon," and "A Goldfish Trapped in a Glass Jar." The stuffed nature is also the image of modern people imprisoned in modern civilization. "Goldfish Trapped in a Jar" is a metaphor for modern people in the prison of cold buildings. The colonial city of Gyeongseong was a spectacular place to activate the desire for consumption. Kim Dal-jin pays attention to this desire for consumption. Kim Dal-jin criticizes the generation in which people fell in love with the illusion of modern times, sipping expensive coffee in the cafes, consuming modernity enjoying leisure time while strolling in old palaces on Sunday. However, to them the modernity was nothing but an illusion. They only experienced the Fantasmagorie. The Fantasmagory is closely related to consumerism and physicalism. The nomadism is linked to the situation of the times called Japanese colonial era and the loss of one's hometown in modern times. Kim Dal-jin says nomadism a human instinctKim and he has become a nomad because of "hard reality." In the nomadism, "solitude" is inevitable. In the nomadism the solittude allows access to an substantial existence as a member of a community. The gaze of the nomad see "Cold reality" through the window of the car. Individualism and materialism, such as "ariyok," are spread throughout society.
